Prominent labor activist Mansour Osanloo’s prison sentence has been extended while he remains in prison serving an earlier sentence. In an interview with the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran, his wife, Parvaneh Osanloo, expressed outrage at her husband’s increased prison term and asked international organizations to pursue his freedom. Last week, Osanloo was transferred to court to be tried on the charge of “propagating against the regime,” and was sentenced to one year in prison. He is currently serving a five year prison term.
